Australian DJ Jimmy Lyell and his new girlfriend Zoe Kochner have announced they are expecting their first baby together.
Jimmy, who is one half of the Flight Facilities duo, already shares two children – Milo, 10, and James, eight – with his ex-partner Chelsea Waddell.
Zoe, a German-born model, announced her pregnancy on Wednesday, sharing a reel of photos on Instagram as she showed off her growing bump.
The images showed Zoe dressed in a white two-piece ensemble, with Jimmy kissing her exposed stomach while sitting at an outdoor table.
Another close-up picture included a glimpse of the ultrasound as well as a personal note that appeared to be from Jimmy.
‘I think it’s fair to say we both found you intriguing!’ the handwritten letter said.

Other photos saw Zoe rocking a pregnancy glow as she got dressed and posed in activewear with her hands cradling her baby bump.
Jimmy also posed for another picture inside, pressing his face to Zoe’s belly as she wore a black sports bra and jeans.
Zoe captioned the baby announcement with the words, ‘6 months of growing life,’ suggesting that they are expecting their bundle of joy in August.
Jimmy and Zoe have not shared when they first met, though Daily Mail understands it may have been in February 2025.
However, the DJ didn’t make an appearance on Zoe’s Instagram until November when she shared photos from her 26th birthday party.
It comes just over a year after Jimmy and his ex Chelsea split.
Chelsea announced the news in January 2025, sharing an emotional statement about their ‘painful’ separation.
‘After a lot of reflection, I need to share that my relationship with Jimmy has come to an end. This wasn’t a decision made lightly,’ the fine arts consultant said.

‘This is an incredibly hard time for myself and our two kids, but my focus now is on healing, growing, and creating a positive future for myself and my two little boys.
‘The children we share are my absolute priority and my greatest source of strength as we move forward.
‘As a very private person, I’m not sharing this to invite sympathy or to open up conversations about it.
‘I’m sharing this because I want to be honest to the people we are connected with, but mostly I want to avoid the pain of having to explain this over and over to people.
‘So I ask with kindness, that if you see me, we leave this topic out. This is a conversation that is too painful for me to have right now.
‘Thank you for respecting my privacy and giving me space as my boys and I navigate this huge change in our lives.’
Jimmy deleted his Instagram account shortly after the split was announced.
The couple, who lived in Byron Bay together, began dating in 2017 but are believed to have first met in 2009.
